Park Jae-hui (pictured), the owner of a franchise Chicken Cheol-in No. 7 Hongik University store, whom a reporter tried on the phone on the 2nd, put down the handset while politely examining the request for an interview. He was humble, saying that his beautiful good deeds known to the whole people weren’t too big. As the story of Mr. Park, who served chicken at no cost to his brother in difficult circumstances, spread to the public, from the end of last month, the store was flooded with calls of encouragement and messages of support from citizens as well as orders for chicken.
Some even left a review on the delivery application (app), such as “I couldn’t go directly because there was a distance, I only ordered,” and “I only ordered because Seocho-dong.” As the so-called “don jun” (a new word that combines money and confusion, meaning that the owner of a business who did good deeds is confused with money), the order became difficult to handle, so Park decided to stop the operation on this day. As the reason for the suspension of business, it attracted attention once again by listening to’Quality Maintenance’.
According to the 2nd delivery app’People of Delivery’, Mr. Park, who runs a chicken franchise in Mapo-gu, Seoul, told Baemin’s review, “I want to receive all the incoming orders, so we can’t guarantee 100% quality, so we will stop the business for a while.” I will try to come back in time.”
Park also said, “I don’t think I did something special or great,” and said, “I am ashamed of the interest and love of many people because I firmly believe that anyone other than me would have done that.”
On the 16th of last month, as the head of the franchise headquarters released a handwritten letter that came to the headquarters in January through his social network service (SNS), Mr. Park’s store began to gain attention. The letter was sent from Group A, a high school student, who is an older brother among the brothers who received chicken from Mr. Park last year.
Along with self-introduction, the letter contained the situation at the time and his appreciation for Mr. Park. After losing their parents in an accident as a child, Group A, who makes a living by doing part-time jobs such as loading and unloading parcels, introduced herself that she was living with a sick grandmother and a younger brother who is seven years apart. In a letter, A said, “I came out to the street to appease Bochae’s younger brother saying he wanted to eat chicken, but he couldn’t enter the chicken house because he had only 5,000 won in his pocket.” I didn’t have it.” A said, “Looking at the store signboard and seeing us squatting in front of the store, the boss told us to come in.”
In addition, it is known that Park served chicken and shaved his hair to the brothers who visited him several times afterwards. Group A said, “I am truly grateful to the boss who gave me warm chicken and interest to our brothers who I see for the first time. If I become an adult and earn a lot of money, a nice person like the boss who can live while helping people in need like me I will do it.”
When the letter was delivered, Park said through his SNS, “I don’t remember exactly when, but I remember exactly the two faces of the brothers in the letter.” I am so glad that I can know how to say hello through a letter.” Then he said, “Don’t be burdened, come to the store with your brother once.”
The head of the franchise headquarters said, “I was touched by the good deeds of the store owner and supported the necessary parts for sales. I want to give a scholarship to many people because I have given a warm heart to them.”
